assessment & treatment appproach- empowering you!
I have worked with people who have had pain for over 30 years before coming to see me. In that time they have tried various therapies and have spent a lot of money with no long lasting benefit. While this bounce-back is good for practitioners it is not good for the client who has to limit their life-style according to their pain levels/ triggers or their functional ability.
A lot of people want a quick-fix, a couple of massages or the latest fad in electrotherapy (machines) so they're feeling better and then they're off until their symptoms flare up again. Our work will empower you with the knowledge you need to take control of and manage your symptoms. After your initial assessment I will explain what is causing the problem, what needs to be done and how this will help you. Armed with this knowledge you can start to take control of the problem and will know what to do if your symptoms reoccur in the future- saving you time and money and reducing stress and fatigue levels.
I can help you with...
a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including, but not limited to:
- back and neck pain
- frozen shoulder
- rotator cuff injuries
- tennis/ golfer's elbow
- Carpal Tunnel syndrome
- arthritis
- post- fracture limitations
- sciatica
- groin strain
- knee pain
- ankle injuries
- plantarfasciosis
- tendinopathies
I can also provide rehab for:
- post-surgical problems e.g. pain and stiffness after joint replacements or discectomies
- chronic long-term conditions eg. inflammatory diseases
- neurological conditions such as Stroke or Parkinson’s Disease
- adults who have grown up with Cerebral Palsy or other congenital conditions
- generalised muscle weakness/ deconditioning in the elderly
- impaired balance and frequent falls
How we will do it
After a comprehensive assessment we will set out the goals you want to achieve. Options include:
- exercise
- postural advice and management
- gait analysis
- stretches to ease out stiff joints
- stretches for tight muscles which could be affecting symmetry
- strengthening work
- mobilisations to relieve pain
- taping
- soft tissue massage
- ultrasound
- shock-wave therapy
- hydrotherapy
- identifying any risk factors to your safety and long-term health
- prescribing appliances to realign your body so that you are able to move and function pain free eg. orthotics, insoles or splints. (These will be made by a local orthotic company).
- ergonomic assessments: if you work from home it may be important to look at your ergonomic set up to optimise your body alignment and posture throughout the working day.
